"Brat..." Garp murmured once again, looking seriously at his grandson. In the next moment, lightning began to appear around him, accepting his grandson's challenge and drawing the attention of everyone below the fight.
"Hey, Garp, are you really going to do this?" That question lingered in the air, with some already knowing exactly what he was about to do—using his most powerful attack against his own grandson. It was madness, even for the sadistic Garp.
Coby was watching his teacher before being surprised by an extended punch from Lucy, using Haki. "Pay attention to the fight, Coby!" she complained, not knowing exactly what her grandfather was doing, as she hadn't had time to train that attack with him in the Marines.
Luffy looked satisfied with Garp's response, but also a bit concerned. "Grandpa, I believe this place won't be safe for any of our companions. How about we move away?" Luffy commented while still in his second transformation, with black wings surrounded by purple flames.
Garp looked at him before nodding. "Alright, but I need to ask you something... You haven't regained all your power, have you?" Garp questioned during their fight.
"Yes, Grandpa, you were the first to notice. Even though I'm stronger than I was a year ago, I still haven't recovered all my power, but that's not a problem to deal with all my enemies. I'm confident I can defeat whoever I want in these seas as I am." Luffy said confidently. He was still somewhat weakened by the restrictions imposed on him, and it would take some time to fully regain his strength.
"Alright then. I want to see your current strength!" Garp said, and in the next moment, he disappeared, heading towards the sea. Luffy took one last look at his crew members, who were beginning to fight against the Marines. He spread his wings and vanished, leaving a trail of flames as he followed his grandfather, trusting that they could handle things while he was away.
Shirahoshi was fighting against Gion at that moment, as their trident and katana clashed rapidly, surprising the vice-admiral by being stopped by a mermaid.
"You're fast... and you're not even using your Akuma no Mi powers..." Gion murmured with a dissatisfied tone, as she began to coat her weapon with Haki, advancing against the mermaid. Shirahoshi didn't back down, launching herself forward. Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki coated her weapon, clashing directly, causing Gion to lose the exchange as she was sent flying backward, surprised. Shirahoshi had also developed the layer of Conqueror's Haki.
In Luffy's crew, everyone had different talents, but in combat with the techniques they had begun training, Bebo was the most talented in the six styles. He mastered all the techniques faster and stronger than anyone else in the same period of time within the crew.
Observation Haki was already a tie between Enel and Usopp, who both showed great aptitude. Enel's Akuma no Mi already helped him a lot, but he still had immense talent. Usopp had developed greatly in the past year and was nearly equal to Enel with his Akuma no Mi.
However, in Armament Haki, Shirahoshi stood out, developing it at a faster pace than the others as she traveled with the crew through Paradise.
As for Conqueror's Haki... no one could surpass the captain himself, Luffy. He had a natural talent for all types of Haki, but in Conqueror's Haki, he excelled above all. He had learned the advanced layer of this Haki during a war while fighting alongside Whitebeard. The others had a year to develop their abilities, so Shirahoshi had no major issues replicating the technique with her Armament Haki layer after a year, even though it wasn't her strongest suit.
The vice-admiral was still surprised as she tried to stay in the air. Gion quickly recovered and was already back on the offensive, applying pressure again, while Shirahoshi looked at her with a serious and mature gaze, leaving behind the fearful girl she once was, now just a memory of the past.
Nami was fighting against two vice-admirals, swiftly applying wind pressure with her Garuda claws. She managed to land hits on them, causing them to cry out in pain and fall back onto the Marine ships once again.
Vivi was engaged in a battle against Smoker himself, who floated in the air, beginning to fly using his smoke and firing attacks around. Both of their Logia abilities couldn't affect each other from that distance, as Smoker waited to use his weapon on her. Vivi sent out precise cuts, waiting for the right moment to strike. When Smoker finally got close, Vivi dashed forward, using her extreme speed, faster than Smoker himself, striking him with Haki and making him roar in pain before being sent flying onto the ship as well, while an explosion echoed across the deck.
"Smoker-san!" Tashigi yelled, rushing forward, frowning as she looked up to see Vivi still flying, calmly staring down at them, as if waiting for her next opponent.
Hachi was also fighting a vice-admiral, in a sword battle, where the man struggled to withstand the pressure from the fishman, who was beginning to easily overpower him.
"They've gotten so strong..." Kizaru murmured, still standing on the ship since the beginning, observing all of his comrades. The vice-admirals were starting to lose as soon as the clash began, which shouldn't have been a surprise for this crew. After a year of being missing, it was obvious they had been training, and they had become even more formidable.
Suddenly, Coby went flying, crashing into one of the ships and causing an explosion. Helmeppo appeared right after, looking worriedly at his friend. "She's so strong..." Coby muttered, as he looked ahead, seeing Lucy covering almost her entire body with Armament Haki in a different transformation.
"This is my Gear Fourth, Coby! Take it seriously, or you'll lose badly!" She laughed, still finding it fun to fight with her former comrades, without any malice in her tone. It was as if she was having a reunion, with no intention of hurting them, just for a friendly fight.
"This is bad..." Kizaru commented, hearing Lucy and watching her raise her fist and charge forward. Other vice-admirals approached to stop her, but Lucy began dodging their attacks, as if she were enjoying herself, easily striking each of them. With no choice, Admiral Kizaru transformed into light and advanced.
'If I don't damage their ship or seriously injure their crew, he won't get really angry, right?' Kizaru thought as he moved forward, appearing in front of Lucy and delivering a kick before she noticed.
"What!?" she exclaimed as her body flexed like rubber, absorbing the full impact. Kizaru raised an eyebrow since, even with Haki, she could still use her rubbery ability—something very strange.
Nevertheless, she went flying, screaming, before starting to step on the air and stabilize herself again, still using Geppo. In her Gear Fourth, her body emitted smoke and was covered in Haki. Although she wasn't as large as Luffy in his original transformation, this form prioritized speed like her Snake Woman form.
"You're too fast, Kizaru-san!" she commented with a smile, as she launched an attack from that distance, stretching her Haki-coated arm. It veered to one side before hitting an invisible wall in the air, then changing direction like a snake. It kept advancing with each curve towards Kizaru. The Admiral decided to act then, transforming into light again. He quickly darted forward, dodging the attack with his zigzag movements, trying to reach her.
Lucy saw him appear again, a blinding light before he kicked her, but she had already anticipated it. While one of her arms remained extended, her body suddenly inflated as if absorbing all the air around. Kizaru's kick landed on her belly, sinking into her rubber ball-like form. He felt the pressure and was sent flying backward without any effect this time. As he recovered, Lucy used her other arm to land a punch on him. Kizaru felt the pain as the hit landed squarely on his stomach, sending him flying a considerable distance before returning, touching the struck area and looking at Lucy with an impressed gaze.
"Incredible!" Kizaru commented, preparing to continue the fight, seeing that Garp's granddaughter had truly become powerful enough to face an admiral, which was a great loss for the Marines.
At that moment, as he readied himself to fight again, he felt something—and it wasn't just him. Everyone who was fighting suddenly felt the pressure, and their eyes turned toward the horizon, where Luffy and Garp were.
"What is that?" the vice-admirals murmured, as the air seemed calm on that side. But if they paid close attention, they could now see the pressure in the air changing. It began to glow with a crimson hue on one side and an amethyst hue on the other, as if both colors were preparing to collide.
Luffy was there, looking at his grandfather from over 500 meters away, starting to prepare his punch, which was glowing intensely, while Garp did the same, with red lightning radiating with all his might, embedding Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki. Luffy was doing the same, starting to shine. Both the grandson's and grandfather's attacks were coated in Armament Haki, along with Conqueror's Haki—Garp would use a pure punch, and Luffy would use his technique with flames.
"Hahaha!" Garp suddenly started laughing amidst the lightning, not knowing if it was out of joy or excitement. Luffy, on the other hand, kept his focus but felt a little happy about it. It was clear that, in that moment, his grandfather was acknowledging his strength, something he considered a higher form of recognition, coming from the hero of the Marines.
As the two of them prepared for a few more seconds, in the next instant, they both charged forward, disappearing over the sea, which was carved open by their speeds. They advanced toward each other, moving faster than the sea could react. A wave began to form, carved out by their power, and in the middle of the sea, before the wave could catch up to them, they already had their fists ready to collide.
"Galactic Impact!" Garp exclaimed, swinging his arm.
"Flaming Comet Punch!" Luffy called out, throwing his punch forward.
In the next moment, everything seemed to return to normal, as both fists were connected. A vision of Goa Kingdom appeared at that moment, showing Luffy on his grandfather's shoulders, laughing, while Lucy had her arm stretched out to him, as if she were on a swing, laughing as well. Garp kept a smile on his face as he watched his two grandchildren playing.
It was a strange image, but their Haki had connected them to it. There was no sign of power between them at that moment, with both fists connected without Haki or Devil Fruit powers, while the sea continued advancing at the speed they had created. Everything stayed like that for a while, with more images appearing as they stared at each other, both maintaining smiles on their faces, with that static scene. But everything would change, because in the next instant, everything exploded with an impact, sinking the sea below, similar to the pressure Luffy caused at Marineford. Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and the purple flames exploded from the collision.
Immediately afterward, a massive explosion devastated the entire area for miles from the point where their fists collided.
From the Marine ship and the Straw Hats' ship, everyone could see the huge explosion rising on the horizon before a massive force swept across the sea, crashing into the ships, throwing them far away as everyone screamed in surprise. Even those flying with Geppo had to protect themselves by landing on their ships.
The sea quickly formed waves in all directions as the explosion continued to cover the horizon, blocking out the sunlight.
In Dressrosa, all eyes turned toward that direction, trying to understand what was happening there.
"Look, Mommy! It's so pretty!!" Luna exclaimed.
"Was that Daddy who did that?" Aurora asked Hancock.
"I... Hm!?" Hancock murmured before feeling something and quickly grabbing her daughters as a pressure passed through them, generating a strong wind that swept everything in the city, even knocking people over, while everyone looked around, wondering what was happening there.
The people of Skypiea were also quite stunned, seeing the huge explosion coming from the Blue Sea, and feeling the pressure advancing toward them as well.
It didn't take long before a tsunami formed, heading not only toward the Marine ships but also towards the outskirts of Dressrosa, with a giant-scale impact. The entire sea was now showing a massive crater the size of an island, with streaks of Haki running through it, with no sign of Luffy or Garp.
